The day to day diary of a textile artist who dabbles in far to many fibre related arts.

Abstraction

I went to the local art gallery on Friday for a talk by the artist of the current exhibition. The talk was on creating abstract art which I find extremely difficult to do with pastels, but surprisingly easy to do in textiles. It is easier for me to express myself in textiles, so I guess that is half the battle.

In fact I should maybe get out the pastels today as a case of lingering flu has escalated and my head feels like a big mass of woolly nothingness, I am so vague and jelly like that maybe abstraction would come easily.
